The Natural Environment Still Life-Landscape
Cohesive Series, “Artificial Sun”
When we think of the night, we usually think of dark shadows and outlines created by the moonlight. When we think of the day, we usually think of highlights and brightness created by the sun. Project 2, The Natural Environment Still Life-Landscape: Part 2, depicts the merging of the night with the “artificial sun.” No color correction, editing, or flash was used for this project. All spotlights were created by the surrounding street lamps located at the scene.
